For noen uker siden, innen fristen 2013-04-15, leverte jeg og -Morten Kjelkenes vårt bidrag til -DIFIs apps4norge-konkurranse -under lagnavnet NUUGs tannlegeteam. -Vi leverte følgende i idé-kategorien:
+ +The other day I was pleased and surprised to discover that Marcelo +Salvador had published a +video on +Youtube showing how to install the standalone Debian Edu / +Skolelinux profile. This is the profile intended for use at home or +on laptops that should not be integrated into the provided network +services (no central home directory, no Kerberos / LDAP directory etc, +in other word a single user machine). The result is 11 minutes long, +and show some user applications (seem to be rather randomly picked). +Missed a few of my favorites like celestia, planets and chromium +showing the Zygote Body 3D model +of the human body, but I guess he did not know about those or find +other programs more interesting. :) And the video do not show the +advantages I believe is one of the most valuable featuers in Debian +Edu, its central school server making it possible to run hundreds of +computers without hard drives by installing one central +LTSP server.
+ +Anyway, check out the video, embedded below and linked to above:
+ + + +Are there other nice videos demonstrating Skolelinux? Please let +me know. :)
+A few hours ago, the announcement for the first stable release of +Debian Edu Wheezy went out from the Debian publicity team. The +complete announcement text can be found at +the Debian News +section, translated to several languages. Please check it out.
+ +There is one minor known problem that we will fix very soon. One +can not install a amd64 Thin Client Server using PXE, as the /var/ +partition is too small. A workaround is to extend the partition (use +lvresize + resize2fs in tty 2 while installing).
+The Freedombox +project have been going on for a while, and have presented the +vision, ideas and solution several places. Here is a little +collection of videos of talks and presentation of the project.

-Gjøre det enklere å finne en tannlege som er praktisk for deg, der -pris og reisetid med kollektivt, til fots eller med bil er tatt med i -beregningen, ved å oppgi hvor en bor og jobber, og få forslag til -tannleger både i nærheten og på veien mellom disse stedene.
+- Presentation of +the Freedombox by James Vasile at Elevate in Gratz 2011 (Youtube)
-Brukeren oppgir hjemmeadresse og jobbadresse, og kanskje også -barnehage. Så kan en også oppgi egen timelønn (for å beregne taps -arbeidsfortjeneste) og om en reiser med kollektivt, til fots eller -kjører bil. Så trykker en søk, og får opp en todelt side med kart og -tekstliste. I kartdelen vises aktuelle tannleger (for eksempel maks -7), og i tekstdelen er de samme tannlegene listet opp, med pris og -reisetid for kollektivtransport, og pris pluss reisekostnad hvis en -reiser med bil. En kan endre sorteringsrekkefølge for listen ved å -trykke på aktuell kolonne, og velge om en skal sortere på pris, -reisetid eller totalkostnad. Kun tannleger som tar imot nye kunder tas -i utganspunktet med i listen. Når brukeren trykker med musa en -tannlegemarkør på kartet kommer det en popup med detaljer om -tannlegen, den samme informasjonen som finnes i listen under kartet, -og lenke til mer informasjon om tannlegen.

+A larger list is available from +the +Freedombox Wiki.
+ +On other news, I am happy to report that Freedombox based on Debian +Jessie is coming along quite well, and soon both Owncloud and using +Tor should be available for testers of the Freedombox solution. :) In +a few weeks I hope everything needed to test it is included in Debian. +The withsqlite package is already in Debian, and the plinth package is +pending in NEW. The third and vital part of that puzzle is the +metapackage/setup framework, which is still pending an upload.

The third wheezy based beta release of Debian Edu was wrapped up +today. This is the release announcement from Holger Levsen:
+ +++Hi,
-Enkel tjeneste som fokuserer på det vi selv mener er relevant ved valg -av tannlege.
+it is my pleasure to announce the third beta release (beta 2 for +short) of Debian Edu / +Skolelinux based on Debian Wheezy!
-Tjenestekonseptet kan også brukes til andre næringer, f.eks. lege, -butikk, leiebiler, hvis en har aktuell datakilde å koble med.
+Please test these images extensivly, if no new problems are found +we plan to do this final Debian Edu Wheezy release this coming +weekend. We are not aware of any major problems or blockers in beta2, +if you find something, please notify us immediately!
-Skulle gjerne hatt med vurdering av tannlegene tilgjengelig, slik -at en kunne finne "flinke" tannleger basert på et eller annet -kriterium.
+(More about the remaining steps for the Edu Wheezy release in +another mail to the edu list tonight or tomorrow...)
-Markedspotensiale - potensiale for å slå gjennom hos mange -brukere
+Noteworthy changes and software updates for Debian Edu 7.1+edu0~b2 +compared to beta1:
-
-- Alle som ønsker eller vurderer å skaffe seg ny tannlege, f.eks. nyinnflyttede og studenter
-- Familier med en travel hverdag
+ +- The KDE proxy setup has been adjusted to use the provided wpad.dat. This +also gets Chromium to use this proxy.
+- Install kdepim-groupware with KDE desktops to make sure korganizer +understand ical/dav sources.
+- Increased default maximum size of /var/spool/squid and /skole/backup on the +main server.
+- A source DVD image containing all source packages is now available as well.
+- Updates for chromium (29.0.1547.57-1~deb7u1), imagemagick +(6.7.7.10-5+deb7u2), php5 (5.4.4-14+deb7u4), libmodplug +(0.8.8.4-3+deb7u1+git20130828), tiff (4.0.2-6+deb7u2), linux-image +(3.2.0-4-486_3.2.46-1+deb7u1).
+Felles er at den gjør tannlegen lettere tilgjengelig for de som vil spare tid eller penger.
+Where to get it:
-Samfunnsøkonomisk nytte - bidrar til å løse -samfunnsutfordringer
+To download the multiarch netinstall CD release you can use
-Kutter tid brukt på tannlegebesøk, og penger frigjøres som kan brukes på andre områder. Oppfordrer til bedre bruk av kollektivtransport ved å gi tips om tannleger i nærheten av allerede brukt reisevei mellom hjemme og jobb når en reiser kollektivt.

-Alpha based installations should reinstall or downgrade the +versions of gosa and libpam-mklocaluser to the ones used in this beta +release. Both alpha and beta0 based installations should reinstall or +deal with gosa.conf manually; there are two options: (1) Keep +gosa.conf and edit this file as outlined on the mailing list. (2) +Accept the new version of gosa.conf and replace both contained admin +password placeholders with the password hashes found in the old one +(backup copy!).

I was introduced to the +Freedombox project +in 2010, when Eben Moglen presented his vision about serving the need +of non-technical people to keep their personal information private and +within the legal protection of their own homes. The idea is to give +people back the power over their network and machines, and return +Internet back to its intended peer-to-peer architecture. Instead of +depending on a central service, the Freedombox will give everyone +control over their own basic infrastructure.
+ +I've intended to join the effort since then, but other tasks have +taken priority. But this summers nasty news about the misuse of trust +and privilege exercised by the "western" intelligence gathering +communities increased my eagerness to contribute to a point where I +actually started working on the project a while back.
+ +The initial +Debian initiative based on the vision from Eben Moglen, is to +create a simple and cheap Debian based appliance that anyone can hook +up in their home and get access to secure and private services and +communication. The initial deployment platform have been the +Dreamplug, +which is a piece of hardware I do not own. So to be able to test what +the current Freedombox setup look like, I had to come up with a way to install +it on some hardware I do have access to. I have rewritten the +freedom-maker +image build framework to use .deb packages instead of only copying +setup into the boot images, and thanks to this rewrite I am able to +set up any machine supported by Debian Wheezy as a Freedombox, using +the previously mentioned deb (and a few support debs for packages +missing in Debian).
+ +The current Freedombox setup consist of a set of bootstrapping +scripts +(freedombox-setup), +and a administrative web interface +(plinth + exmachina + +withsqlite), as well as a privacy enhancing proxy based on +privoxy +(freedombox-privoxy). There is also a web/javascript based XMPP +client (jwchat) +trying (unsuccessfully so far) to talk to the XMPP server +(ejabberd). The +web interface is pluggable, and the goal is to use it to enable OpenID +services, mesh network connectivity, use of TOR, etc, etc. Not much of +this is really working yet, see +the +project TODO for links to GIT repositories. Most of the code is +on github at the moment. The HTTP proxy is operational out of the +box, and the admin web interface can be used to add/remove plinth +users. I've not been able to do anything else with it so far, but +know there are several branches spread around github and other places +with lots of half baked features.
+ +Anyway, if you want to have a look at the current state, the +following recipes should work to give you a test machine to poke +at.
+ +Debian Wheezy amd64
+ +-
+
+
- Fetch normal Debian Wheezy installation ISO. +
- Boot from it, either as CD or USB stick. +
Press [tab] on the boot prompt and add this as a boot argument +to the Debian installer:
+
url=http://www.reinholdtsen.name/freedombox/preseed-wheezy.dat
+
+- Answer the few language/region/password questions and pick disk to +install on. + +
- When the installation is finished and the machine have rebooted a +few times, your Freedombox is ready for testing. + +
Raspberry Pi Raspbian
+ +-
+
+
- Fetch a Raspbian SD card image, create SD card. +
- Boot from SD card, extend file system to fill the card completely. +
Log in and add this to /etc/sources.list:
++deb http://www.reinholdtsen.name/freedombox wheezy main +
+Run this as root:
++wget -O - http://www.reinholdtsen.name/freedombox/BE1A583D.asc | \ + apt-key add - +apt-get update +apt-get install freedombox-setup +/usr/lib/freedombox/setup +
+- Reboot into your freshly created Freedombox. + +
You can test it on other architectures too, but because the +freedombox-privoxy package is binary, it will only work as intended on +the architectures where I have had time to build the binary and put it +in my APT repository. But do not let this stop you. It is only a +short "apt-get source -b freedombox-privoxy" away. :)
+ +Note that by default Freedombox is a DHCP server on the +192.168.1.0/24 subnet, so if this is your subnet be careful and turn +off the DHCP server by running "update-rc.d isc-dhcp-server +disable" as root.
+ +Please let me know if this works for you, or if you have any +problems. We gather on the IRC channel +#freedombox on +irc.debian.org and the +project +mailing list.
+ +Once you get your freedombox operational, you can visit +http://your-host-name:8001/ to see the state of the plint +welcome screen (dead end - do not be surprised if you are unable to +get past it), and next visit http://your-host-name:8001/help/ +to look at the rest of plinth. The default user is 'admin' and the +default password is 'secret'.
+I 2011 raderte et stortingsflertall bestående av Høyre og +Arbeiderpartiet vekk en betydelig del av privatsfæren til det norske +folk. Det ble vedtatt at det skulle registreres og lagres i et halvt +år hvor alle som bærer på en mobiltelefon befinner seg, hvem de +snakker med og hvor lenge de snakket sammen. Det skal også +registreres hvem de sendte SMS-meldinger til, hvem en har sendt epost +til, og hvilke nett-tjenere en besøkte. Saken er kjent som +Datalagringsdirektivet +(DLD), og innebærer at alle innbyggerne og andre innenfor Norges +grenser overvåkes døgnet rundt. Det ble i praksis innført brev og +besøkskontroll av hele befolkningen. Rapporter fra de landene som +allerede har innført slik total lagring av borgernes +kommunikasjonsmønstre forteller at det ikke hjelper i +kriminalitetsbekjempelsen. Den norske prislappen blir mange hundre +millioner, uten at det ser ut til å bidra positivt til politiets +arbeide. Jeg synes flere hundre millioner i stedet burde vært brukt +på noe som kan dokumenteres å ha effekt i kriminalitetsbekjempelsen. +Se mer på +Wikipedia +og Jon Wessel-Aas.
+ +Hva er problemet, tenkter du kanskje? Et åpenbart problem er at +medienes kildevern i praksis blir radert ut. Den innsamlede +informasjonen gjør det mulig å finne ut hvem som har snakket med +journalister på telefon, SMS og epost, og hvem som har vært i nærheten +av journalister så sant begge bar med seg en telefon. Et annet er at +advokatvernet blir sterkt redusert, der politiet kan finne ut hvem +som har snakket med en advokat når, eller vært i møter en med advokat. +Et tredje er at svært personlig informasjon kan avledes fra hvilke +nettsteder en har besøkt. Har en besøkt hivnorge.no, +swingersnorge.com eller andre sider som kan brukes til avlede +interesser som hører til privatsfæren, vil denne informasjonen være +tilgjengelig takket være datalagringsdirektivet.
+ +De fleste partiene var mot, kun to partier stemte for. Høyre og +Arbeiderpartiet. Og både Høyre og Arbeiderpartiet i Oslo har +DLD-forkjempere på toppen av sine lister (har ikke sjekket de andre +fylkene). Det er dermed helt uaktuelt for meg å stemme på disse +partiene. Her er oversikten over partienes valglister i Oslo, med +informasjon om hvem som stemte hva i første DLD-votering i Stortinget, +basert på informasjon fra mine venner i +Holder de +Ord samt data.stortinget.no. +Først ut er stortingslista fra Høyre for Oslo:

- Slight changes to some objects and acls to have more types to - choose from when adding systems in GOsa. Now systems can be of type - server, workstation, printer, terminal or netdevice. +
- Added ssh askpass packages to default installation, to ensure ssh + work also without a attached tty. +
- Add the command-not-found package to the default installation to + make it easier to figure out where to find missing command line + tools. Please note, that the command 'update-command-not-found' + has to be run as root to actually make it useful (internet access + required). +
